in the area lisa pointed to, educating early solves educational problems. we published a report last march. it is on the website. it is a way to reduce special education costs. we know quality pre-kindergarten provided to 100 kids yields in reduction in special education costs alone enough to pay for the services. at the state level, there is an understanding that takes place that people can act on. it can better be done on the school district level. the power of technology is enabling people at local levels to act in ways they cannot at the federal level. as they act at the local and state level, it becomes clear that the federal level what needs to be done. the beginnings of this process are sufficiently still knew that it would be a third reason why we should not be surprised of the relative inaction at the federal level. but at the state level, a lot is going on. lisa and david are doing is informing and energizing this to make it easier for those trying to organize in those states. i am very encouraged by what is happening at the local and state level.
